Thanks for doing it. This will make easier to understand the license in 
each file. There are a couple of places below where the SDPX tag is 
incorrect. How did you figure out the which license to use?

Also, I think we should consider to add a section about SPDX in our 
coding style so new files are using it. So we don't end up with a mix in 
arch/arm/*.

Technically, this is a comment. So this should be /* ... */ to follow 
Xen coding style. Also...

... this comment contains information about the license. As you add the 
SPDX, the "long" version should be removed. This would also make easier 
to verify the SPDX you add match existing license.

This file had no explicit license. I had a look at the 'git log' and 
AFAICT this was either new code and came from Linux. So this looks fine 
to add GPLv2 here.

This tag doesn't match the license below. It is currently GPLv2+. I 
don't think you can change it without consulting the author. But if it 
is, then it should be mentioned in the commit message.

I remember we discussed in the past that some files were GPLv2+. But I 
can't remember what was the outcome (I can't find the thread). IIRC 
GPLv2+ is a lot more restrictive than GPLv2 and could prevent some 
companies to contribute.

Same here about GPLv2+. Please go through the rest of the files to 
confirm the license.

I used the information in COPYING at the top of the repository. I
realize that I should also have checked the comment header at the top
of each source file, especially in regards to GPLv2 vs, GPLv2 or later.
I'll do that in the next version.

Excellent point. I realized there are a couple of style details to sort
out so I sent out a separate email about that.

I agree. Also I made a comment about this in the other larger thread to
make sure we are all on the same page about it.

The change was not intentional: this exercise should not result in any
licensing changes. Next time I'll make sure to check all the
copyright/license headers at the top of the files to make sure they
match the SPDX tag.

Thanks for spotting this.

Re: [PATCH] add SPDX to arch/arm/*.c
Posted by Stefano Stabellini 1 year, 8 months ago 
+ Xen maintainers and committers


For context, I wrote a patch to introduce SPDX tags starting from
arch/arm/*.c.

Julien rightfully pointed out that it should be added to our coding
style. He is right. Also as I was reading his replies, I realized there
are a couple of minor coding style things to agree as a group first.
I'll highlighted them here and suggested a proposal. I am happy to go
with the preference of the majority.


## comment format // vs /*

In this patch I used:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0

But our comment format is actually /* xxx */. I think it is fair to
use /* xxx */ as Julien requested:

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */

Unless there are any concerns, I'll change the patch to /* SPDX... */


## blank line after SPDX

In this series, I didn't add a blank line after the new SPDX comment, no
matter if the following line was an #include or another comment. Now I am
thinking it would be best to add a blank line, as follows:

---
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */

#include <xen/bitops.h>
---

Or:

---
/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */

/*
 * xen/arch/arm/device.c
 *
---

Let me know if that's OK for you.


## Original copyright text

As we add the new SDPX tag, It makes sense to remove the older copyright
text at the top of the file, e.g.:

diff --git a/xen/arch/arm/alternative.c b/xen/arch/arm/alternative.c
index f03cd943c6..d0a409e4fd 100644
--- a/xen/arch/arm/alternative.c
+++ b/xen/arch/arm/alternative.c

 #include <xen/init.h>


Now the question is whether we want to keep what's left:

/*
 * alternative runtime patching
 * inspired by the x86 version
 *
 * Copyright (C) 2014-2016 ARM Ltd.
 */

The Copyright line is not useful and often stale. Also the other comment
is not very interesting in most cases (I am referring to "alternative
runtime patching inspired by the x86 version"), although I realize this
is going to be a on case-by-case basis.

My suggestion is to get rid of it all unless useful (in most cases it is
not useful), leading to:

Removing the copyright would probably require an agreement from the original implementer.
To prevent troubles and round of questions I would keep the comment and copyright for now.

I don't think that we need agreement from the original implementer to
remove the copyright: the copyright information is expressed by the
Signed-off-by line. In fact, every person that changed the file has
partial copyright ownership over it. So I think that we can remove the
Copyright line without asking anyone, as long as we properly retain the
git history.

That said, I am all for preventing troubles and rounds of questions,
especially as we need to change very many files. The more mechanical the
changes the better at this stage.

So maybe it is actually better to only remove the strict necessary (the
license info) and keep everything else. This way it could be almost
scriptable and it is easier to review too.

Any further changes could be done with additional patches on top. I am
going to do that if everyone agrees.

Don't we want something like the kernel's LICENSES directory in order to
have something the SPDX lines refer to? COPYING should maybe adapted, too.

I don't know if we need to go as far as the LICENSES directory. For
example, Zephyr doesn't have anything of the sort AFAICT. But maybe it
is cleaner to have it?

For the hypervisor, GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0-or-later are the ones that are
relevant so we would only need LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0 initially?

I would think so.

I don't think we really need the "preferred" directory level.

And I do think that at least in the include/public directory we have many
files with MIT license. There might be BSD ones at other places, too.
